This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy (a gentle light treatment) can help heal mouth sores caused by pemphigus vulgaris and reduce pain. If you qualify, you may get this non-invasive therapy as part of the study.
This study tests a new medicine called CM313 for people with moderate to severe pemphigus, a condition that causes painful blisters on the skin and mouth. The goal is to see if CM313 can help reduce these blisters and improve quality of life.
This trial tests two light-based treatments (photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy) and a steroid cream (clobetasol) for painful oral lichen planus. The goal is to see which treatment works best to reduce mouth sores and discomfort.
This study tests a new drug called CM313 (an antibody that targets a protein on immune cells) for treating pemphigus, a condition that causes painful blisters on the skin and mouth. The goal is to see if it can reduce blisters and improve quality of life, especially for people who haven't responded well to other treatments.
This trial tests whether a structured lifestyle program (diet and exercise) can improve quality of life for people with pemphigus, a chronic blistering skin condition. If you have pemphigus, this could help you feel better day-to-day.
This study compares two treatments for moderate-to-severe pemphigus vulgaris, a rare skin blistering condition. One group gets rituximab plus corticosteroids, the other gets corticosteroids plus azathioprine. It aims to find which combination works better to control the disease with fewer side effects.
